Classic Car, Timeless Techniques

Get in gear with cake artist Mike McCarey as you learn how to sculpt any car cake from the curvaceous body down to delicious detail work.

In this dynamic class, you’ll create a distinctive groom cake and build motor-driven memories for any occasion.

Learn how to create the car cake of your choice, or recreate Mike's elegant 1936 roadster. You'll create a convincing windshield using gelatin, sculpt and carve a cake that's stable enough to support dozens of accessories, add stunning details and save time with efficient construction and assembly tips in a class that's truly fun.

Lesson 8. The Edible Windshield & Final Assembly

I know this is going to be a lot of work but cannot wait to see the look on the face of the honored birthday person's face... A true car enthusiast! My only decision is whether it is this class(y) cake or a Cord!

You'll learn how to apply Mike's techniques to any car cake! You can apply these incredible details and design methods to any make or model of your choice, or you can recreate the elegant 1936 roadster that Mike teaches step-by-step in class!
